[GS] Wondrous Wonders (Updated for Gathering Storm) 3.1.0

[Magil]

what are the changes in the world wonders only version? I compared changelogs but I can't see a difference

The Terracotta Army is functionally different in the World Wonders only version, as it includes an ability that I moved to the National Academy national wonder in that version.

Great mod. I play with both and even though I think I read somewhere that the National Wonders one doesn't play nice with CQUI, I have not had any significant problems. Whilst I do think that the NW are a little strong, they add a lot of fun. My only issue with the mod, and it is an insignificant one, is that the requirement box listing what is required has a list of around 10 lines stating that you cannot use X in the same district as Y. However, X requires a campus and Y needs a Holy Site. Seems completely redundant.

Unfortunately I don't think I can change that particular UI element as it is automatically generated by the game. Or to be more accurate, I think I could change it, but it would involve some lua coding that may make it incompatible with other UI mods which is not desirable to me.

I know this mod is meant to introduce new wonders and buff existing ones, but I think you might have overshot it. Personally, I think national wonders are a bit too good. For instance, certain civ such as Germany have much more adjacency bonus than others, and most national wonders work around adjacency bonus.
For "overshooting" reference, with 8 ages of pace, Chichen Itza at turn 70 and 180 science at turn 100 both seem off to me (2 different games). And it was only on emperor.

The National Wonder adjacency bonuses should only account for a few points of difference between different Civs, I don't think those by themselves are going to cause massive imbalances. But yes, those wonders are intended to strengthen districts in a way that makes a well-placed district worth a lot more than a district that isn't placed so well, and that will naturally affect Civs differently when some Civs have an easier time with adjacency bonuses. If the National Wonders appear too strong for you, there's always the World Wonders only version.

it seems like national wonders don't get the bonus production from monument to the gods pantheon, is this intended?

For now I'll call that intended, though it could be something I add in the future. It'd only affect a small number of the National Wonders.

With the summer update 2017 wondrous wonders stopped working.
Would love to see a fixed Version. Good Work!

Magil updated Magil's Wondrous Wonders with a new update entry:

Hopefully fixed

This update should hopefully make the mod compatible with the newest patch.

I think, Jebel Barkal needs buff in this mod. Like provide an additional 2 horses.

Reporting a bug I found in my Aztec game. The following bonus is bugged: Campus, Commercial Hub, Theater Square, Holy Site, and Industrial Zone districts in your empire gain extra yields when adjacent to a lake tile (+4 Gold for a Commercial Hub, +2 of their respective yield for the others). Districs don't have to be beside lake tiles and get these bonuses globally.

I am unable to replicate this issue. Has anyone else noticed a problem like this? Also, make sure to check your database.log to make sure everything is loading correctly.

Is it possible to run this mod with anything that allows placement of wonders not next to the appropriate district (Wonder Tweaks, Quo's Tweaks)?

Yes, I think it is. I run several mods at the same time, and I'm able to get the Quo modifications along with the additions from Wondrous Wonders. I don't use Wonder Tweaks, though.

 

[Atlas627]

I think, Jebel Barkal needs buff in this mod. Like provide an additional 2 horses.

I don't really think it needs a buff, but I certainly wouldn't add 2 horses. That isn't thematic and also actually makes it more boring by making it work for all units in the Classical and Medieval eras instead of making you try to optimize it by changing your playstyle.

A small buff could be to add some yields to adjacent tiles. That way it helps more if the surrounding land is usable, again allowing for more optimization caveats.

I think Apadana might warrant a buff though. Having to build it in your capital is fine...if it didn't come after all the other cheap wonders you might want to place in your capital. Since you have no guarantee you'll build any other wonders there after the Apadana (since you now have to have good science/culture *and* production *and* beeline the unlock for something your capital can build *and* your capital must have decent production) it basically is +2 envoys but needs to be built adjacent to your capital, which is usually fantastic land due to it being your capital.

How about foreign trade routes to the Apadana give 2 extra gold to the Apadana and 1 culture to the sender, and domestic routes to the Apadana grant 1 culture? This helps the Apadana work for any strong capital and not just wonders.

The Mausoleum is fine as-is, imo. And that's all the wonders released since you last updated this mod, I think?

Hi this mod (30 Jul) is not compatible with
- "8 Ages of War (17 Sep)",
- "Community Quick User Interface - CQUI (5 Oct)" and
- "Dynamic Diplomacy (4 Sep, 28 Jul, 28 Jul)",
when all 4 mods were run together (no other mods were used). After pressing the button "Start Game", I was returned back to the main menu. But if I run any of the 3 (of listed 4 mods) together, I can create game as normal. (E.g. there is no problem running this mod together with "8 Ages of War" and "CQUI" or running this mod together with "8 Ages of War" and "Dynamic Diplomacy".)

Could you fix this?

I get all 4 mods from Steam by subscribing to them. The dates in brackets are the last modified date of the mods.

It might be relevant to point out that "Dynamic Diplomacy (4 Sep, 28 Jul, 28 Jul)" is actually 3 mods: "Dynamic Diplomacy (Updated) (4 Sep)", "Dynamic Diplomacy (Australia DLC) (28 Jul)" and "Dynamic Diplomacy (Poland DLC) (28 Jul)", but written as though it is one mod to prevent wordiness. I also tested running all 4 mods but this time really without Dynamic Diplomacy (Australia DLC) (28 Jul)" and "Dynamic Diplomacy (Poland DLC) (28 Jul)", but it still doesn't create game.

Your problem is probably 8 Ages of War as I use the others together with no problems. Try removing it. If it doesn't work post log files.

Yes, using any 3 mods is fine, but not all 4 together.

"Ironworks cannot be built in the same district as a Grand Temple."

Ironworks is built in industrial zone; and Grand Temple, in holy site. They can never be built in the same district. So the above sentence is redundant. Or am I missing something out?

That's just how the text in the game auto-generates. The base game only has mutually exclusive buildings in the same district, like the Barracks/Stable, I'm just using the same code to make buildings in different districts mutually exclusive. The upside is that it works fine (mostly, I've heard of some issues relating to this but I've never been able to reproduce them), the downside is that the text the game automatically generates is misleading.

I could potentially change it, but that'd involve getting into the lua/interface side of the game and I'm not very familiar with it, plus I'm given to understand it might negatively impact other mods that modify that part of the game.

Does that mean Ironworks and Grand Temple cannot be built in the same city?

That's correct.

Great Zimbabwe: No longer needs to be placed next to Cattle. Local trade route bonus based on bonus resources removed. Now provides a global +1 Gold to trade routes for each of your trading posts the route paths through in both your cities and foreign cities.

Where can I add the bonus resource boost back in?
